Volunteer Teams

"When I volunteer I feel like I am a part of something bigger and that brings me joy." 
– Desiree Olivera (Connection Team Member)

Finding your place in community can be tricky. Try out a team that interests you. Volunteering offers a place to participate in community, but it can also be an exercise of your spiritual practice. Teams are one of the best places to make meaningful connections.
